Airport installs 47 Power Poles in three terminals to help passengers revive their dead BlackBerrys and iPods

Heathrow Airport has installed “Power Poles” which will allow passengers to recharge their mobile phones, PDAs and other electronic gadgets free of charge.

The airport has spent £300,000 on installing 47 Power Poles in terminals 1 and 3 with more to follow in terminal 4. Each of them can recharge up to eigh devices at one time.

BAA’s Juan Perez said: “The simplest of ideas are often the best ideas and we are confident that the Power Poles will provide an effective cost-free solution to a genuine problem, which will ultimately make our passengers’ airport experience more enjoyable.”
